Norwalk Education...Time For A Change

Countless hours go into committees, board members teachers and parents fighting for our school’s education system. One of the top things people look for when purchasing a home is education. Education paths the ways for our children in our community. Everyday classrooms are being overflowed with children who need services and support.  It’s sad to see that every year instead of getting more, cuts are being made. 

Being a teacher is no longer a previlage, the job to be, here in Norwalk they don’t have the job security they once had. 

As a parent of three it’s hard to read this morning articles about education funds being cut, how our need for more funding isn’t being granted. We already aren’t even close to being on the map to where we have to be. 

Norwalk ranked 104. While below our neighborhood communities ranked in the top 10!

Why do I stay...I was born and raised here. There’s a lot I would like to see change and if I had the time I would fight for them all but I can’t. Not now. Maybe when my kids are all in school full time but for now I am attending the meetings I can. On the school Governance Program and am just like every other parent...Cringing at every article and new report that comes out. Ranking our schools lower and lower and getting less and less to funding our Education System. 

Time for a change Norwalk!
